I've been given a Krupp to review for the Dutch IPMS. In mine opinion, it is one of the better looking trucks ever build, with it's round shapes and added chrome. It has something extra to it.

Due to the fact it is a review-model, the build will be mostly OOB, but I will add some extra details in wiring and stuff. I haven''t made pictures yet, but the chassis is mostly assembled and so is the cabin. (I didn't followed the instructions, where I have to assemble the painted cabinparts around the interior).

I hope to show some pictures tomorrow. In the meanwhile I give you the box-art:

Looking forward to seeing this built, I have the original release to build (One Day !), TMW did a review article back in 1998 when it was first released and it got a very good review, it's a very nice model to build

Thanks guys, What is TMW though? sounds somewhat familiar. I think it is a very nice kit too, the detail is nice but a lot of parts needs clean-up, but that is to be expected from Revell and not very bad thing either.

I made today the first pictures:

This is how the partly assembled chassis looks like now, I will add some more parts and start some detailling before it will get it's paintcoat.

The tent for the back has been glued together, I don't think I will use it in the end, but wanted to glue something together

Here is where I went away from the manual, it said that I had to build the cabin around the interior, but in order to get everything nicely painted, I decided to put the cabin together before the end-assembly.

I also added the firewall

And a new approach I've been starting to work on lately. I get all the parts of the sprues, put them in bags with different colors. Work on the parts and paint them in batches. Makes my modelling a whole lot more efficient.

This build looks amazing so far. If I didn't have so many unbuilt trucks in my closet I'd pick one of these up... I really need to start building faster than buying It's one of those kits I've been wanting to do for years.
